Mean Creek Represent Boston at SXSW 2011 -- Exclusive Video

Boston, Mass. has home to some of rock's most iconic and influential bands, but it's been a while since the historic city has seen an indie group like Mean Creek.

Alternating boy-girl vocalists Chris Keene and Aurore Ounjian conjure a Pixies-like dual frontperson mystique and they rock equally as hard as their Beantown alma mater.

Spinner sat down with the up-and-coming band before their show at this year's SXSW festival to talk about Boston's musical lineage, record company woes and their latest EP, 'Hemophiliac.'

"We recorded ['Hemophiliac'] with producer John Angello. He's done tons of bands – Kurt Vile, Dinosaur Jr. – we're all fans of his work," Ounjian told Spinner.

"Basically what happened was we were planning on recording a full length and we realized our label didn't have any money left, so we were kind of on our own. So we just decided to do a four song EP. We just put in our own money and just did what we could and we're really happy with the outcome."
